I was just look for specs and compatibility on the Z170A GAMING M3 and as i was looking on the RAM Compability, i have the kingston fury hyperX 2x8GB (HX424C15FBK2/16) and i found that supports only 2 dims for that part number, thats what the msi's site says.

Can i buy 2 more of the same ram and put them for a total of 32Gb ram or it wont support it?

If your current kit works, buying a 2nd kit of the same RAM to supplement them should be just fine.

That's just what they tested. It will most likely work with 4 DIMMs, but compatibility issues can happen when mixing different memory that way.

 

Unmatched kits can always differ, and additionally Kingston buys their memory on the open market, so it could be anything hiding under that product name.
